What is the location of the Geany preferences/settings files?

Tags:

geany

I've made quite a few changes to the preferences for my convenience. Now, I want to install it on several computers with the modified preferences.

It would be far easier if I can just copy the preferences/settings file(s) from the modified installation into the new installation folders instead of modifying the preferences of each new installation one by one.

Where am I to find the preferences/settings files of Geany?

If you are running Geany on Linux/BSD you will find them in folder ~/.config/geany

On very ancient versions of Geany there have been a ~/.geany folder.

As for deploying it on other computers: Keep care, as inside file geany.conf there are absolute paths defined, which are e.g. dependent on your username.
